While the market continues to obsess over Zoom Vomeros and other big-ticket retro runners, Nike quietly dropped a sleeper hit — the V5 RNR — and it might just be one of the best-value sneakers in their lineup.
Retailing at just $90, the V5 RNR is available in both men’s and women’s sizing, making it a solid go-to for everyday wear. The shoe offers a surprising level of comfort for the price point — easily rivaling, if not surpassing, the Nike Vomero 5 in terms of step-in feel. The foam midsole is chunky yet lightweight, making it great for all-day wear.
Design-wise, the V5 RNR leans into Y2K running aesthetics, with layered paneling, metallic details, and a raised 3D Swoosh logo for a subtle retro-futuristic edge. Nike keeps things simple but effective — the shape is sleek, the support is solid, and the look fits right into today’s style trends.
If you’re looking for a dependable everyday sneaker that doesn’t break the bank but still looks and feels premium, the Nike V5 RNR should absolutely be on your radar.
Pairs are available now on Nike.com in a plethora of colorways in both Men's and Women's sizes.
